Our consuls. so far as I know. are doing a noble job in holding off the gang. but they must have help and legislation which will strengthen their hands. Mr. Chairman. this bill is designed to suspend immigration for two years. less two months considered necessary to take care of those who have started. It is hoped that durinig two years the committee or a select committee or a joint committee can find time to revise and rebuild from the ground up the immigration laws of the United States. which are sonmewhat hard to understand from the fact that they have been amnended. and amended. and amended. to meet conditions as they have arisen during past years in the United States. This bill admits travelers for business. pleasure. or curiosity for a space of six months duration. renewable by application tO the Secretary of State. That provision is in lieu of. the I present line of exemptions in the present law. which runs all the way from nurses to civil engineers. but does not exempt other engineers.
